RELEASED Elithian Races Mod - A Starbound Expansion 2.3.10

I bow before your superior build talents.

 

This mod ruined starbound for me

 

Then don't use it.

 

i cant not use it because it wont let me uninstall the mod or load starbound

 

You should be able to uninstall it by simply deleting the avikan folder. The current version of the mod won't cause any crashes on startup, so there must be some other mod or an unrelated issue preventing you from loading the game.

 

Sounds like you're either using an outdated version of the mod or another mod that's causing a crash. What mods are you using and are you using their Workshop or manual versions?

 

never mind the tech wiz in my family fixed it

 

The dim avikan light is missing a sprite, and, well, you can see that the leatherworking station is entirely bright instead of just the lights being bright.

 

Good finds! I'm adding these to my list and will try to get them fixed in the next update!

 

Also the Rhaiod Tapestry has the hitbox bug again, and the Avikan Keff object has a slightly different hitbox based on which way you place it.

 

I'm adding these to the list, but I'm not certain if the fixes will be implemented yet. For both of them I'd need to change the imagePosition of the sprites, and I forgot whether or not Starbound automatically updates these values for objects that have already been placed. If it doesn't, then changing the values will cause these objects to break on all existing builds...

 

God, in no way do I want to rush you, but this mod is the equivalent of crack to me, I want more. I only come to this site anymore to make sure I'm not missing out on Frackin Universe and this mod. Please never stop updating it.

 

Glad you're enjoying the mod so much! This is exactly why I love building it so much (and I plan to continue working on it for a long time to come!)

 

This is something I should have reported earlier, but should Bubble Shield/Force Shield augments be nerfed? Because with endgame armor you can have 100+ defense, which makes you invincible and very overpowered.

 

that just Nice, you could og around and fight armies.
and if you want armies, heres some for you

(also the enemy npcs in this mod is OP as he**, at least last time i used it, which was right before the 1.3 release)

 

I'm actually rewriting the bubble and force shields completely! In the next patch, they'll no longer provide static defence bonuses - this made it too easy to achieve 100% damage reduction - but provide other utilities instead. The bubble shield will absorb damage up to a maximum amount, then break and slowly recharge. The force shield, on the other hand, will shield you from a bit of damage on a hit, but break immediately regardless of how much damage you took. When a force shield breaks, however, it will push away any enemies and projectiles near you, then start recharging.

 

hmm....wonder if there is a way to get the old type, but its really hard to get? like, you have to EARN the OPness?

 

It's unlikely I'll make such a thing available through regular gameplay, but it might get added as something that can be spawned in. I'm okay with powerful equipment and think it can serve as a great reward for difficult achievements, but something that makes you as good as invincible goes a bit too far for me... As a spawned-in item, though, I'm completely okay with it (there's already a gun in the mod that kills (almost) anything in a single hit, but it needs to be spawned in).

 

I think something may be broken with crew in this mod. Once I went to 1.3, all my crew stopped responding to my avikan and trink characters. Can't add them to a party, can't recruit new ones, can't even dismiss them. My human character was getting crashes when he talked to his crew, but I was able to dismiss them, and newly recruited people seem fine. I'll attach a log for you, I really hope this is fixable.

 

A fix for this issue is in the works, and will be released within a few days! The issue is caused by changes 1.3 made to the way crewmember benefits for mechanics and engineers work. It slipped through the mod's initial update for 1.3, but will be addressed soon.
